Mission
It is the mission of Fideles Christian School
to equip and assist families in the Christian discipleship of
their children. As an organization subject to the Lord Jesus
Christ, it seeks to participate obediently and effectively in
fulfilling His mandate to the Church, as stated in Matthew
28:19-20 (the Great Commission), by helping to build the body of
Christ through academic education and related ministries,
including especially those family education ministries uniquely
necessary for a university structured (UMS) format (Eph.
4:7-13).
By providing educational and participatory
activities in the areas of Christian world and life view, life
skills, spiritual skills, and vocational skills, Fideles Christian
School will endeavor by working in partnership with families, to
provide a comprehensive program for the Christian preparation of
their children’s life missions as disciples of Christ, in,
beyond or apart from higher education.
Fideles Program Vision
Our vision for our educational program is
defined by the acronym HEART both in attitude and content.
We desire to be an organization known for its love of God and man
whose educational program provides the following distinct
features:
Honors God: From the Bible we read
such verses, "In the beginning God created the heavens and
the earth"Gen.1:1, "Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God" Matt.4:4,
"…Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom
and knowledge" Col.2:2,3, "without faith it is
impossible to please him" (God) Heb 11:6, "faith comes
from hearing ,and hearing through the word of Christ"
Rom.10:17. These verses and many more testify to the importance of
acknowledging God as the author of all things including scholastic
subjects and the necessity of having these subjects taught in the
light of His Word if they are to have any ultimate value to us.
Therefore our program seeks to honor God by acknowledging His
preeminence in all subjects, His guidance in all activities, and
by regularly calling the students attention to Him in our classes.
Empowers Families: Healthy cohesive
families are central to the vitality of churches and societies.
However, our modern lifestyle tends to separate us from and
diminish the influence that we have in the lives of our children
and them in ours. It is our intention that our two/three day per
week schedule allow parents to take the leadership role in
directing, mentoring, and monitoring their children's education
while still benefiting from the knowledge and encouragement of
gifted teachers and the classroom experience. It provides a
partnership to those who would prefer to home school with
assistance. Also, our economical costs makes private Christian
education more feasible and within financial reach of more
families.
Academically Complete: We believe that
all students should be equipped with the knowledge, tools, and
skills to be able to compete effectively in a demanding world.
Therefore, our program has: sought and achieved accreditation
through the Georgia Accrediting Commission; and has taken into
account as we prepared our curriculum, The State of Georgia
college entrance requirements, SAT and ACT requirements, The
Georgia Performance Standards, The Association of Christian
Schools International and The National Association of University
Model Schools curriculum standards, the recommendations of
recognized Christian publishers, and the advise of independent
consultants.
Renders Guidance: We believe that
every student is unique and has a unique mission of service to
perform for their heavenly Father. It is our goal and in our
program are means to assist and guide them in the discovery and
beginning of that mission spiritually, academically and
vocationally.
Teaches Self-Discipline: Over the
course of life there is ultimately no substitute for the practice
of self discipline. Our schedule and program provides the
opportunity, accomplishment, and rewards, for the student to learn
to take responsibility for the use of their time when they are not
in class and to begin to take ownership of their future as they
prepare for it.
